why do i do this to myself?

Why do I neglect my blog for weeks and then sum up our lives in a reaaallly long post? Argh! Bear with me. I hope you're ready for another list :)

1. Chris and I started a Biblical Parenting Class at Southeast. We had to miss this Sunday's class due to prior commitments but we LOVE the class. I can't wait for next Sunday's lesson. We also got to meet our blog friends, David and Jill Pennington, for the first time. They are in the class too!

2. My mom and I went to new member orientation for a community bible study we will be starting in August. While we were there, Lincoln went to the nursery for the first time in his life. Yes, he has lived a very sheltered life. haha :) He did great! He didn't cry one bit. He went to the nursery for the second time last Sunday while we were in our parenting class. They said he did great for most of the class, but he cried at the very end. I'm really excited about Lincoln going to the nursery and I think it will be really good for him. Even the kids Lincoln's age get a lesson and they are taught to pat the Bible. Isn't that precious!

3. Having said that Lincoln went to the nursery for the first times this month, it should come as no surprise that #3 will be about how sick our family has been. It started with Lincoln. He ran a high fever, had ulcers on his throat, and threw up once. Then Chris got it, minus the puking. They are both doing much better now.

4. Hers & His Photography is doing great! Here are some of my favorite photos we've taken here lately.

5. Our friends, The Taurman's, were in town visiting from Florida this past week and planned a blog get together with the Birkes, Kaelins, Spencers, and Tibbs Friday evening. There was delicious food and great company. We had so much fun and so did Lincoln! He spent the entire evening running from one end of the room to the other blowing raspberries, flirting with Sulayne, or lifting his shirt to show off his abs. He is so funny!

The highlight of the evening was getting to meet Ms. Braeleigh Taurman for the first time since she was born. Aren't her eyes beautiful?!

Before we left, someone suggested we take a picture of all our kids on the couch. By the time I got to the front of the picture taking line, our kids were done! So, I stole this cute picture from Beth .

Here are all of our kiddos from left to right...

6. If you haven't had Papa Murphy's Taco Grande Pizza, stop what you're doing and go buy one now. You can thank me later.

7. My brother has been kicking booty in track. Seriously. He's awesome.

Am I forgetting anything blog worthy, Chris?

I love the picture of the kids. I have a similiar picture of Cooper when he was two months, I had gotten together with Gretchen, Tracey, and our friends Melanie & Janna. We got the kids together on the couch for a photo shoot. Back then there were 8 kids, now there are 9 and two more on the way.

Glad to hear Lincoln is doing well in the nursery, Coope pretty much went from day one and we still battled seperation issues for months.
